Nick of the Woods.

This sterling old border drama, which
always pleases both old and young, and is
equally interesting in its dramatic power to
both sexes, will be played at the Grand
Opera House next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee,
By the famous William A. Lang Dramatic
Company. The company was secured by
the Entertainment Committee of the Ohio
Valley Trades aud Labor Assembly at a
heavy expense. It's merit will attract big
houses, for William A. Lang, who assumes
the leading role, is unriyaled in his delin'
cation of Nick of the Woods. Equally
gifted are his talented wife and daughter.
Considering the number of organizations
takiDg part in the entertainment, the
Grand Opera House will no doubt be
crowded to its fullest capacity. An i'm
mense number of posters, placards, etc,
have been printed aud will be issued at the
meeting OF the Trades Assembly this after
noon. During the week 20, GOO programmes
will be distributed Ii is a grand play by
good company, for a good object, and II
merits brilliant success. a notice OF this
excellent company WAS omitted yesterday

A Nice Case.

A man and woman were arrested Sat-

tuition. Both were former members Of the
Salvation Army, and it is alleged kept up
their liason all the time they belonged to
that organization. The man has a re-
spected wife and several children, who are
to be heartily pitied. He deserves the

early yesterday morning, and when they
appeared on the scene one man had his

although Mike went after him, he was
impeded by his heavy coat and couldn't
catch the fugitive: although he is
well known. The captured one was taken
before Justice Semitic, who held him in
the sum of $500 for his appearance Wed,

Got Caught Mt Last.

Dakota Bell: We see by q Dakota
paper that a young man who was stand
ing in the Office and watching . printer
run a JOB press and asking what the roll
lers were made of, and how the ink was
manufactured. and why the type didn't
get smashed, and if it ran hard and if it
ran easy, and what the rollers were made
OF, and how often it was oiled, and how
fast it would print, and if he ever got
his hand caught, and what the rollers
| were made of, and what it would do if
it was run backwards, and how
much it cost, and how long it
would wear, aud what good the
grippers did, and what the rollers were
made of, and how he told when he got
on enough ink, and why he didn't put
some oil on the disk, and if that big
wheel was the tympan, and what the roll
lers were made of, we notice, We repeat,
that while he Is doing this, Just as he
always does, that he got his fingers
caught in some cogs and had two of them
smashed.
All, ha!-so its come at last! We
thought it must happen some day, but
1t was beginning to seem q long and
weary while to wait. We have hoped
sometimes that he would get both hands
and one foot cauRht-but two fingers
are better than nothing. And then he
didn't find out what the rollers were
made of either.

Town Lot .lnmning,

Helena, Mont, May 1l-Great excite
ment has been caused here by town-lot
jumping, Some enterprising individual
claims to have discovered provisions III
the stutute that place every piece OF
~unoccupisd property in the old town
site at the mercy of the first
jumper who will put o fence
around it and take possession. The re.
suit is parties were at work yesterday
and to-day putting up fences on vscant
lots In the townsite and applying to the
probate judge for a deed to the
same on the ground of entry
and peaceful possession, fling afidavits
to that effect. The applicant files mis-
paperseand tenders q fee Of $14 per lot
to the owners. 1t may be worth more
than that per foot. Sound lawyers
CLAIM that there is no such clause in the
statutes that would bear any other than
q technical Interpretation to that effect
and that no court would hold these titles
good, because it would be against public
policy. Property are now busy
fencing in their own vacant lots, and
there is a greet run on the lumber yards
in consequence. 1t is believed to be
only q Matchmaking scheme to add to
the real estate excitement. Among the
valuable property jumped are lots own
ed by the Sherwoods Of New York, and
Mrs. Seth Bullock of Deadwood.

The xephyrs OF the West.

Dako:a Bell: The wind In Dakota
has been in a very robust condition this
spring and has exercised right along. 1t
has blown steadily from the south with
q velocity only equallsd by cleo
tricity and then for the next week has
backed up and got in position to come
again. That is the worst thing about
the wind in this country; if it would
blow from one direction for q while and
then go around somewhere and so keep
away for q few days and not insist on
backing up to get ready for q fresh
start it wouldn't be SO bad. Da-
kota wind is @ double-ender and
backs up just as fest as it goes ahead. In
either case 1t goes as if it must get
there in abont five minutes. 1t is the
next fastest thing to iaok-rabbit. When
it says come on to dry-goods box or a
barrel or a high board fence they mosey
right along. These things will conc
back, however; when the wind does. In
early days in the territory when there
was prairie everywhere we have seen the
wind get started a little under q corner
of a county and keep working in till
pretty soon it peeled the whole thing
off and rolled it away.
